This is one of the first monster movies I ever saw.
I remember how clear most of the underwater scenes were. Usually, those types of scenes are really dark and murky.
I also had fun watching the sequels ( REVENGE OF THE CREATURE and CREATURE WALKS AMONG US ).
Just for the record, I've NEVER seen the 3D version.
FYI: Julie Adams and Ricou Browning still make appearances at popular culture conventions.
It was released on VHS a few times by MCA / UNIVERSAL.
This movie - and it's sequels - have been released on region one DVD many times by UNIVERSAL ( as a solo disc and in collections ).
CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON has also been released on BLU-RAY by UNIVERSAL.
